WRCE (1450 kHz, "WRCE News from the Center") is an AM radio station broadcasting a news and progressive talk format.[2] Licensed to Richland Center, Wisconsin, United States, the station is currently owned by Civic Media, through licensee Civic Media, Inc.

In September 2022, WRCE (formerly WRCO-AM) changed its format from standards to talk as "News from the Center".[3] WRCE covers local high school sports play by play and is an affiliate of the Wisconsin Badgers football and basketball radio networks. One of the first interviews on the new format was an interview of longtime local politician Dale Schultz.
